Straws And Hay Recipe


Straws And Hay Recipe
Straws & Hay comes from the mixture of green (spinach) fettucine with the traditional white color. I sometimes use spaghetti squash for a different (healthier) take on the dish.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound spinach fettucine
  • 1/2 pound plain fettucine
  • olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons butter -- divided
  • 2 teaspoons shallots -- minced
  • 3/4 pound mushrooms -- diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
  1. Cook pasta. Drain well and toss with a small amount of olive oil.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the shallots and saute until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat, shake the pan, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
